rushes over our memories at the men

the attraction ar4 beauty of its seem

trition we find of the ancient proverb,
"The good in heart die young. but the
viceled burn like tae candle in its sock
et." Plain, Lonest and uapretentious as
was the dear departed in life, we feel
that no fulsome eulogy resplendent with
rhetorical blazoricould do worthy trib
ute to his worth. In all the relations
of life as son, husband, faher, brother
and friend 1e was a Model pran whom
all respected, and one of the few of
whom it may be truthfully said :
"None knew him but to love,
None named him butito praise."
